Herewith a list of hot titles coming out in the next few months, traditionally a really prolific publishing time. (A note: see the Paws & Claws blog "Homer's Odyssey" for my absolute favorite.)
September-Brown, Dan LOST SYMBOL- All that is known at this time is that the hero is Dan Langdon and it takes place over a 12 hour period. (9/3/09). Very hush hush......
Doctorow, E.L. HOMER & LANGLEY-Through the eyes of the infamous hoarder Collyer brothers we travel from the early 20th century through the 1980's. The two men wall themselves off from the changing world in their Harlem brownstone, surrounding themselves with old newspapers, musical instruments and other curiosities.
Shreve, Anita A CHANGE IN ALTITUDE-Geraldine had only planned on staying in Kenya for a year, when she traveled there with her husband. A horrific accident while on a climbing expedition changes their marriage forever.
October- Cornwell, P. THE SCARPETTA FACTOR-Dr. Kay Scarpetta is working in New York City, and must face a threat on her life , as well as deal with a famous actor accused of a sex crime.
Crichton, Michael PIRATE LATITUDES-On Jamaica, Capt. Edward Hunter assembles a crew to seize gold from a Spanish galleon. (Crichton has left the dinosaurs for now.)
Mayle, Peter THE VINTAGE CAPER-Los Angeles entertainment lawyer Danny Roth finds himself the victim of a world-class heist when his vintage wine collection disappears. (He's now setting his works outside of France, but still loves vino.)
November-Grafton, S U IS FOR UNDERTOW- almost to the end of the alphabet now-Kinsey Milhone helps a man who thinks he remembers where a young girl is buried, who had died 21 years before. He hopes if they find the body, they can find the murderer-----and justice will be served.
McCullough, Colleen-TOO MANY MURDERS-Not "The Thorn Birds", but an interesting tale of multiple murders in small-town Connecticut, none of which seem to be connected in any way.
Roth, P THE HUMBLING-A leading stage actor feels his life is over---talent faded, wife left. He is about to take a journey that would have a dark and shocking end.
Rutherfurd, Edward- NEW YORK (THE NOVEL)-As he wrote in "Sarum" and others, the author traces the history of a single place through the people who settled it and their descendents. They include a varied lot: Dutch, English, slaves, Irish immigrants, robber barons, and a family who fled anti-semitism in Europe. It culminates with the World Trade Center attacks.
